Congress appoints Sukhdeo Bhagat as Chhattisgarh in-charge, moves Sachin Pilot to Punjab and shifts Bhupesh Baghel to Assam.

Punjab Congress's leadership crisis has gone from a quiet internal disagreement to an open, months-long standoff — and the party's attempt to broker peace over the weekend appears to have made things worse rather than better.

The Congress leadership has attempted a delicate balancing act in Punjab by retaining Raja Warring as the state party president while assigning former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi a major role in the party’s election campaign machinery. The move, however, has sparked fresh political discussion over whether the party has resolved internal differences or merely managed them temporarily.
